Not Grumpy, Just Pious

When Dodger and I walk in the mornings we usually pass a few other people who are also out walking their dogs. I always say "good morning" or something friendly when we pass and people almost always reply with a friendly "hello" or "good morning. There is one man who walks a cute little brown dog, a neighbor who lives across the open space behind us, that never responds or even acknowledges that he sees or hears me. This man was walking in front of our house just as Dodger and I went out at about 7:30 this morning:

Me: (as usual) Good morning.

Him: (as usual)________.

Me: (thinking maybe he is just hard of hearing) Good Morning.

Him: Hmphh.

Me: (not thinking, just blurting out) Excuse me, but have I done something to make you angry or has my dog done something you don't like. I often see you walking and say "good morning" and you have never acknowledged or responded to me. I am very sorry if I have done something to offend you.

I agree with Barb, was going to say that too. Maybe a respectful greeting would be better than prayer at that moment.But I admire you for not giving up on him and continuing to greet him. I would probably have stopped after the first couple of silent ___________'s. :)

I do always say "hi" to people when I'm walking Koda; hubby does the same. I used to pray when I walked Koda (I pray out loud) so I would stop praying when I would pass someone and still say hi to them so I think he still could have acknowledged you in some way Jeanie.

Funny!!! I would never have had the guts to say anything to him. I have no profound thoughts to share... but I did post... mostly because you urged me to do so (o: That was only a few of the pictures I have. By the way... i was so annoyed that blogger had changed my password and I had to mess around for to long trying to reset it!!! Crazy blogger (o:
